Great course, very very slow pace of play

First time playing this course, great condition and layout. The pace of play was dreadfully slow, approximately 5 hours and 10 minutes to play 18 holes.

Wet weather
Used cart

good course, staff was friendly, pace of play was bad due to a junior playoff game in front of us, we had ten people on the 11th tee waiting for the juniors to move on. would have been nice if the course had posted a warning on website, got rained out would not give me a raincheck said I had to call golfnow.

Too difficult

Too difficult for the average senior golfer, some holes from the white tees needed 190-200 yards + to reach the the fairway, very unforgiving on misplaced shots.
Not my kind of course.
